A novel "The Wake" set in the Anglo-Saxon resistance to William the Conqueror. Oddly written in "Shadow English."

From the Amazon description
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Written in what the author describes as "a shadow tongue"—a version of Old English updated so as to be understandable to the modern reader—The Wake renders the inner life of an Anglo-Saxon man with an accuracy and immediacy rare in historical fiction. To enter Buccmaster's world is to feel powerfully the sheer strangeness of the past. A tale of lost gods and haunted visions, The Wake is both a sensational, gripping story and a major literary achievement.

Found this on the website that I earlier described "Frontier Partisans." The absolute last thing I needed was another source for books to add to my potential reading list-but of such is life.

At Frontier Partisans-in addition to the strong non-fiction stuff and the historical fiction concentrated in areas of time that I am very interested in, there is also a surprising under-current of fantasy type stuff-I think the site originally grew out of a Conan the Barbarian fan group. Edgar Rice Burroughs is very popular there as well.
